Using genetic risk scores to improve diagnosis and outcomes in seronegative inflammatory arthritis

  Research Group: Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences
Diagnosing inflammatory arthritis promptly and accurately can be challenging when antibody blood tests are normal (“seronegative”) and clinical features overlap. Read more

Computational modelling of cell morphology in the spatial organisation of cancer

A 2027 Crick PhD project with Josh Bull. Project background and description. The tumour microenvironment is a complex ecosystem, driven not just by the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells, but also by their interactions with immune cells, vasculature, stroma, and the surrounding tissue architecture.

Evolutionary and Ecological Impact of the Western Lifestyle on the Gut Microbiome (HILDEBRAND_Q27DTP)

The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem shaped by diet, the host and microbial transmission between people. While gut bacterial populations were once thought to be genetically stable, we now know that they can evolve within their hosts over remarkably short timescales. Read more

Turning Back the Epigenetic Clock: How Diet and Metabolism Reprogram Ageing

  Research Group: Genetics
Can diet and metabolism genuinely slow the pace of ageing, not just extend life but reprogram the biological clock that measures it? This project puts you at the centre of one of the most exciting open questions in ageing biology, using epigenetic clocks, the most accurate biomarker of biological age currently available, to find out.
